Great stay in terms of accommodations. The location is kind of isolated in terms of dining options. There is one fast food option close by. Otherwise, you will have to travel into Burlington for other choices.

What a very cool place to stay. Clean, bright with updated rooms: giant bed (the John Wayne room ) & bigger shower. There was a complimentary coupon for the old school 4 screen drive in movie theatre next door too. UVM parent’s weekend and still not as pricy as the bigger chains. Support local businesses. Two thumbs up.

Neat old rooms. Being able to park right in front was nice. Bed was comfortable. Having to call a number to contact the people and be told my key is under a flower pot, not too hot.

3 night stay, NO employee on site

We arrived at the hotel for our 3 day stay. The office was closed with a note to call or text a number. I called, no answer. I texted and left a message. A person called back in 3-4 min. Told me no one is in office and no one would be at the office at any time. Person told me how to find the card to swipe into the room. I'm not okay with such practice with no employee on site. This may be the the norm in small motels, but I am not comfortable with that. It should not be the standard. The room was nice, updated rooms and hotel. The bed was lumpy and way too soft. There were divits in the mattress. Nice perk is the 4 screen drive-in theatre next door, but is open only Fri, Sat, Sun.

I’ve stayed at the Starlight Inn a few times, and each time it’s been a wonderful experience. The individual rooms are themed for actors and/or actresses or iconic duos, the rooms are always clean and tidy, and I have had no complaints over all of my visits. Really a wonderful business and a joy to stay in.
